Ahead of its full upfront presentation, Fox has given early series pickups to “24: Legacy” and Lee Daniels‘ new musical drama “Star,” the broadcast network announced Wednesday.
“24: Legacy” is a reboot of Fox’s hit “24” series starring Keifer Sutherland, with a new star leading the franchise.
Starring Corey Hawkins (“Straight Outta Compton”), Miranda Otto (“Homeland”) and Jimmy Smits (“Sons of Anarchy”), the show chronicles a race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil – in the same real-time format as the original series.
The show is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions.
